This looks awesome! I love the 3D graphics *hopes Pichu and Eevee can be a starters* If neither Pichu or Eevee can't be a starter/partner, I'll most likely be an Oshawott with a Snivy partner. I can't wait to see what the story is! Can't wait to get this!

I really love the graphics in these games. It's just too bad that the games are for the 3DS. I don't have one yet, and I don't plan on buying one for at least another year. I really want to play these games as soon as they're out, though. I guess I should start saving money.

Here are my predictions for the Player/Partner options. I put 6 per region. Most are the same as the ones from PMD Sky but I added extras to the regions that have less than 6. Some I picked at random lol.

Spoiler:- Starters:

Kanto:
Bulbasaur
Charmander
Squirtle
Pikachu
Vulpix
Eevee

Johto:
Chikorita
Cyndaquil
Totodile
Phanpy
Elekid
Magby

Hoenn:
Treecko
Torchic
Mudkip
Ralts
Skitty
Bagon

Sinnoh:
Turtwig
Chimchar
Piplup
Shinx
Munchlax
Riolu

Unova:
Snivy
Tepig
Oshawott
Munna
Zorua
Axew

And yeah, I hope they don't pull the whole Gender-specific starters. Hopefully when selecting a partner, we can choose it's Gender. Also all playable Pokemon can be either Gender like Female Riolu or Male Eevee etc. Not all of the Natures have been used in the Quiz so yeah...

I don't think they have to balance it like that, in fact I think they'd probably put in slightly more 5th gen Pokemon since this is the first Mystery Dungeon title they'll be appearing in. I'd say it'll be more like this:

1st Gen:
Bulbasaur
Charmander
Squirtle
Pikachu
Eevee

2nd Gen:
Chikorita
Cyndaquil
Totodile
Phanpy

3rd Gen:
Treeko
Torchic
Mudkip
Skitty

4th Gen:
Turtwig
Chimchar
Piplup
Shinx
Riolu

5th Gen:
Snivy
Tepig
Oshawott
Blitzle
Zorua
Axew

Woo! So obvious Mystery Dungeon was obvious. I've never actually played one, but I'm excited for Pokemon transitioning to the 3DS. I want to see what they can do with the 3D graphics too. Mystery Dungeon's 2D animation is generally beautiful, but it wouldn't work as well.

Why are some people worried about Pikachu being a forced player? Have they done that before? I haven't played one of these since Blue, but I find it hard to believe they would limit it when I would assume so many love being able to play as different Pokemon.

I probably will end up buying this whenever it comes out in Canada, like I said, haven't played one since Blue(Never got around to buying the other ones), and I plan to get a 3DS anyways so why not.

i LOVED explorers of sky! it had an epic storyline, and i really hope that they have the personality test at the beginnging like the last ones. i really hope that they can top explorers sky, time and darkness. the only problem i see with the games so far is that i used to like the cute little sprites, and the 3D aspect is gonna take some getting used to. . . .

Vulpix
Meowth
Pikachu

Johto
Cyndaquil

Chikorita
Phanpy
Togepi

Hoenn

Riolu

Unova
Tepig
Snivy
Oshawott
Axew
Litwick
Zorua

I like this list, it brings back some old players, and adds in some that should of been from the start

And yea, I really dislike Pikachu >_>

I guess for me they'll have to really top the Music

Dialga's fight to the Finish and I don't want to say good-bye are hands down the best spin-off tracks IMO

OK, why are so many people immediately jumping to conclusions about there only being 5 starters?

When the first Mystery Dungeons were announced they didn't announce every starter. Why is everyone suddenly being so irrational about this?

I don't really see enough people "jumping to conclusions"
I do see how everyones doing a list of what they think can be starters.

Man, oh man, these games were what I was waiting for. I'm so excited for these games. I probably will be either Piplup with the partner as chimchar, or I might do it like how I do all my first playthroughs, which is stick with the starter I originally get just by taking the quiz. In blue I was treecko and in explorers of time I was Cyndaquil. I wonder what I will get this time.

But i really hope that there are more Hero/Partner Pokémon, If there are only 5, then, I don't think I buy the game.

As well as plenty of people wondering out loud if these are the only 5 starters (Mostly in other threads, but the point stands).

I can perfectly understand why people would jump to conclusions. You can never be perfectly assured without confirmation when it comes to video games. What fans are seeing, is that there may only be 5 available Pokemon, as it's all that was shown in the scans. Without any information being given on whether there will be more starters, or if Pikachu truly is the only playable Pokemon, people're gonna freak out! It's what's to be expected.

Oh, and to hopefully assure those that are believing that Pikachu might be the only playable Pokemon: http://www.serebii.net/corocoro103.jpg
You can see on one of the pictures, a Pignite traveling solo in a dungeon. No Pikachu to be seen. This could confirm that you are able to play as other Pokemon rather than just Pikachu. But who knows. *shrugs*

Even though most people will probably scroll right past my starters speculation, here goes (mostly 'cuz I'm bored and have nothing else better to do):

Gen I
Bulbasaur
Charmander
Squirtle
Pikachu
Meowth
Eevee
Psyduck

Gen II
Chikorita
Cyndaquil
Totodile
Elekid
Magby
Marill
Tyrouge

Gen III
Treecko
Torchic
Mudkip
Skitty
Ralts
Electrike

Gen IV
Turtwig
Chimchar
Piplup
Riolu
Munchlax
Buneary
Shinx
Buizel

Gen V
Snivy
Tepig
Oshawott
Axew
Zorua
Drilbur
Mienfoo
Lillipup

...Hm, when I look at this, I can't help but think that it's a bit too large a roster... but hell, if we actually end up having this many playable Pokemon, I will not be disappointed. :P

Reason: thought I'd make some changes to the speculated starters

I do agree with you on the most part, but why Lillipup and Drillbur? Litwick is a better choice IMO, but seriously, Lillipup? That's technically a Com Mon, and we've never played as them before... (Shinx isn't, it just isn't)

Haha, and why Phanpy? Drilbur is pretty much just that random playable Ground-type. Like Cubone was in BRT/RRT and Phanpy in EoS. And Lillipup for its simplicity. Just a plain ol' playable Normal-type. Like Meowth and Eevee. Though maybe Minccino would be a better choice for the Normal-type... hmmm.

I can't wait for this! Been waiting for such a long time for a new PMD game! I love that they are moving things to 3D too (maybe the overworld in the main series will do the same with Generation VI on the 3DS?). I highly doubt the partners we know of now are the only ones. I do hope we can be a hero that doesn't have to be just Pikachu though!

Is it confirmed that you can only play as Pikachu or will it be like past installments where you could be a variety?

Err, out of curiosity, why are people thinking this?

I agree. Just have use evolve when we get to the right level/have the right item.

I don't understand it at all. Since when do games revel everything the first time their showcased?
